Boron nitride is an advanced material with special properties. Produced from refined borates, boron nitride is in demand across industries such as electronics and aerospace. Explore its uses, benefits, and the role of refined borates in its production.
Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) help manufacturers make lighter products without compromising strength. Learn more about HGMs, including applications and borates’ role in their production.
You can find borosilicate glass in so many applications because of its strength, clarity, and resistance to heat and chemicals. Learn more about how it’s produced, glass industry trends, and new uses.
Discover how boron improves melting behavior in ceramic glazes and helps manufacturers overcome challenges posed by faster firing cycles and evolving regulations.
Boric oxide is a vital component in vitreous enameling—improving manufacturing efficiency and enhancing the durability of enameled products big and small.
Metal recycling and recovery are two sides of the same coin. Recycling
is reprocessing scrap or waste metal into new products. Recovery is the process that extracts purified metal from scrap. Recycling and recovery of metals can come from scrap or from slag that is left over from a primary smelting operation.
New research indicates anhydrous borax improves the adhesive properties of enamel glazes, lowers energy required for melting, and enhances productivity. Learn more and download the paper.
In various borosilicate glassmaking, anhydrous borates (boron species without crystal water) such as
Dehybor bring multifaceted benefits of value-in-use (VIU). One of the most intuitive benefits is reducing glass manufacturers’ energy use.
From metallurgy to glassmaking, borates can enhance production environments where refractories play an important role. Borates fight corrosion, act as sintering agents, and help offset harmful emissions.
Anhydrous boron is a more concentrated form of boron—containing 1.4 times more B
